Teaching Literacy Boldly: Talk Nerdy to Me
Cailyn N. Dougherty; Michelle Parker
English in Texas, v53 n1 p16-19 2023
Video games' popularity has continued to increase from their origins within a niche community to something engaged in by the general public. This field of literacy-making has a plethora of benefits to bridging skills both within and outside of the ELAR classroom for students of various backgrounds and skill sets, including language learners and students with disabilities as well as our high-performing honors students. Video games align with pedagogical best practices and our ELAR TEKS, making this the perfect combination for literacy building, risk-taking, and skill mastery.
